Answer

What should a Mallorca village do if its only water source is on private land?

The most useful steps are to secure legal water rights, look for a public purchase or right of first refusal, and prepare emergency supply options. Villages can also work with nearby municipalities and the island council on backup deliveries or storage. The key is to avoid relying on a single private owner without binding protections.
